IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for Power Inverter models P/N 026-0002, 026-0003, 026-0004, 026-0005.
2. CAUTION – RISK OF FIRE.
a) 120Watt Inverter: Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This product is rated to draw 12
amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle
can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be
determined by making sure the fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated
higher than 12 amperes. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found
in the vehicle operator’s manual. If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on
replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found. On no account should fuses
be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in
the electrical circuit or cause fire.
b) 200Watt Inverter: Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This product is rated to draw 18
amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle
can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be
determined by making sure the fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated
higher than 18 amperes. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found
in the vehicle operator’s manual. If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on
replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found. On no account should fuses
be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in
the electrical circuit or cause fire.
c) 400Watt Inverter: Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This product is rated to draw 40
amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle
can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be
determined by making sure the fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated
higher than 40 amperes. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found
in the vehicle operator’s manual. If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on
replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found. On no account should fuses
be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in
the electrical circuit or cause fire.
d) 750Watt Inverter: Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This product is rated to draw 70
amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle
can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be
determined by making sure the fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated
higher than 70 amperes. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found
in the vehicle operator’s manual. If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on
replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found. On no account should fuses
be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in
the electrical circuit or cause fire.
e) Do not operate near flammable materials, fumes, or gases.
f) Do not expose to extreme heat or flames.

3. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:
a) Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
b) Do not make any electrical connections or disconnections in areas designated as
ignition protected. This includes 12V/DC adapter plug connection. This unit is NOT
approved for ignition protected areas.
c) Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquids, or use when wet.
d) Do not insert foreign objects into the AC/110V outlet or the USB port.
4. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
a) Failure to follow these safety guidelines could result in personal injury and/or the
damage to the unit.
b) Follow the instructions from the manufacturer of your vehicle’s battery and AC/110V
appliance before connecting the inverter to a battery. Pay careful attention to the
cautionary markings on your vehicle battery. Do not attempt to connect or set up the
unit or its components while operating your vehicle. To avoid a serious accident,
pay attention to the road.
c) Always use the inverter where there is adequate ventilation. Do not block ventilation
areas
.
d) Always turn the inverter off before disconnecting the inverter from the vehicle’s
battery.
e) Make sure the nominal input voltage is 12V DC.
f) Do not use with positive ground electrical systems. A reverse polarity connection will
result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter and will
void the warranty. The majority of automobiles, RVs, and trucks are negatively
grounded.
g) This inverter is unable to power appliances or equipment that produces heat, such
as hair dryers, microwave ovens, and toasters
.
h) Do not open the inverter. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
i) Do not use this inverter with medical devices. It is not tested for medical
applications.
j) Not for use by children.
k) Install and operate the unit only as described in this manual.
l) Do not connect the unit to any utility power distribution, systems, or branch circuits.
m) Do not use the inverter in temperatures below 32°F or above 104°F.
5. WARNING – SAFE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
a) DRY – Do not allow water and /or others liquids to come into contact with the
inverter.
b) COOL – Ambient air temperature should be between 32°F non-condensing and
104°F. Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece or
equipment that is generating heat above room temperature. Keep the inverter out of
direct sunlight.
c) VENTILATION – Allow at least three (3) inches of clearance from other objects to
ensure free air circulation around the inverter. Never place items on or over the
inverter during operation.
d) Do not locate inverters in an area, room or compartment where explosives or
flammable fumes might be present, such as engine rooms, engine compartments,
or small unvented battery compartments.
6. WARNING – SAFE OPERATION OF A CIGARETTE ADAPTER/POWER OUTLET
a) The cigarette adapter is only designed to be used to supply power to equipment that
uses low power or less than 120 watts such as phone chargers etc. A unit intended
to be connected to the cigarette adapter or power outlet of a vehicle, while
delivering its normal output load, shall not exceed 12Amps at the cigarette lighter
output. Doing so will cause the fuse to blow.
